I totally forgot about Yokzuna, He deserved to be in the honorable mentions along with Ric Flair.... Still I have to go with Brock Lesnar cause he won his match at Wrestlemania and kept his title. I don't think anyone had a Debut like Lesnar did for his first Wrestlemania. But Yokozuna definitely deserves a mention. Thanks for the reminder

Fun, interesting read! Just in curiosity where did you find all this information!? haha

Well honestly I did it the old fashioned way in my head.... I thought of unqiue tidbits and facts and used my wrestlig knowledge and I also researched..... like the match times. Basically what I did was get the men that wrestled the most wrestlemanias, look up the wrestlemania results and time of each of their matches (on Wikipedia) and caculated all their match times. It was very time consuming.... im glad you enjoyed it..... but nothing from here was copy and pasted off another site
